Voice testing...!

[mononobe]

You truly want to, what is this new-fangled phrase... "app me" into some sort of place? Wonderful! That's wonderful news, how great it would be to traverse new locations! I was quite the traveler in my own time, you know.

...Ah, but before you get thyself in too deep, please consider that thy ability to, well, interpret my certain style of speech is... lacking. You are not a bad writer, I just believe you need a bit more practice! I am positive with about a millennia's more effort, all that you write will sound quite, how you say... Ai-See! Yes! As they say, YOLO!


[Futo pauses, smile replaced with a frown.]


...Is that correct? Is that when to use it? Ahh, these new terms, I will never get used to them...

Figuratively, Futo. 'From the heart' as in, from within their emotions, generally of affection. Don't kill anyone on my behalf, that is not The Way.

[mononobe]

Ah... Yes, from the...

[Ahem.]

W-Well! I did not plan to take any life, rather to... to borrow a heart for the occasion, but now that the Prince has explained, I graciously offer myself for this task! While I may not be on the same level as the Crown Prince, my status as a pure maiden is true, and I promise to deliver unto you a gift for this festival of love with as much affection as I may muster! Truly, it shall be a day thou shalt not readily forget! Will the Prince not accept such a proposal?

[true_administrator]

The Prince shall indeed accept this proposal from you, heir of the Mononobe clan. [Uh oh. Now Miko's brought her family into it. Family honor is on the line, Futo!] Though I can hear your desires fully, actions speak louder than even those voices. Let us see the true depths of your feelings and your heart.

[mononobe]

[Oh, God. S-Surely she can live up to such a title!! No worries! No worries at all, she'll craft the greatest of sculptures for Miko, it will be adored by all and and and--]

[...Wait.]

Perchance, would the heir of the Soga clan happen to also know of this festival? I worry greatly for, ah, the... the possibility of identical gifts!

[true_administrator]

She has claimed to know of it, yes. [Sometimes, just sometimes, Miko likes pitting the two of them against each other in these kinds of competitions. It's always so amusing in the end.] And I believe she is formulating her own gift, as well.

[mononobe]

[NOOOOOOOOOOOOO]

[She manages to somewhat keep the pained expression of knowing that Soga is going to completely out-do whatever gift she comes up with from completely enveloping her face, simply giving a weak nod.]

I s-see. Well, surely it shall not be as "from-the-heart" as what I shall devise for the celebration!

[Oh God So Nervous]

[true_administrator]

[The funny part is, Miko doesn't even need to do her funny hearing trick to realize how despondent Futo has become suddenly.]

Do your best, Futo. [And her tone becomes a bit more gentle to match it.] I look forward to seeing your work.

[mononobe]

[Oh, well at the gentle tone, Futo easily perks right up. Sure she'll lose horribly against Soga but the Prince is so nice!!!!]

I will not let thy expectations down, my Prince! Do look forward to the gift I shall bestow!

[And with that, she's off.]
